Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) declared on Tuesday an invasion is happening on the southern border and moved to invoke invasion clauses of the U.S. and Texas constitutions to allow him to boost security at the border. “I’m using that constitutional authority, & other authorization & Executive Orders to keep our state & country safe,” Abbott said in a tweet. The governor, who was reelected last week, plans to take a variety of actions, including deploying the National Guard to repel and turn back immigrants he says are trying to cross the border illegally, sending the Texas Department of Public...

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) dismissed Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) Tuesday announcement that he would challenge McConnell for GOP Senate leader. “I have the votes. I will be elected,” McConnell told reporters during a Tuesday press conference. “The only issue is whether we do it sooner or later.”

Nearly 70% of Generation Z, people born between 1997 and 2012, say their mental health was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with 42% of adult members of the cohort reporting that they have been diagnosed with a mental health condition and many of them say they are worried about the future, a new study from data management firm Harmony Healthcare IT shows. The study, which is based on a survey of 1,055 Gen Z members from the age of 18 to 24 in September, included 47% men, 45% women, 6% who identify as nonbinary, and 2% trans-identified individuals. According...

PHOENIX – Four days after the Arizona U.S. Senate race was called, Republican challenger Blake Masters congratulated Sen. Mark Kelly on his victory. “I called and congratulated Mark Kelly this morning,” Masters said in a statement Tuesday. “There were obviously a lot of problems with this election, but there is no path forward in my race.” Masters was referring to tabulation issues for in-person voters at around 70 vote centers in Maricopa County on Election Day, Nov. 8. He joined a lawsuit with gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and the Republican National Committee to keep the polls open three extra hours,...

BREAKING: A federal judge has just blocked the use of Title 42 at the border as a result of ACLU litigation. Title 42 allows the U.S. to immediately expel migrants on the basis of public health. It has been used millions of times under both Trump & Biden. T42 is gone, for now.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) announced at a lunch meeting with fellow Republican senators on Tuesday that he is challenging current Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for his leadership post in the new Congress. Scott is the head of the NRSC, the GOP’s Senate campaign arm. His controversial tenure resulted in Democrats narrowly retaining control of the Senate. Scott’s bid is seen more as a protest as McConnell appears to have sufficient support to remain Leader. President Trump spoke about a Scott challenge to McConnell in a n interview last week with Glenn Beck, “I think Rick Scott would be...

Florida should be viewed as the political “blueprint” moving forward, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Tuesday after highlighting some of the major victories seen for the Sunshine State after last week’s midterm election, noting that his administration was “bold throughout this whole four years” and the results speak for themselves.

This issue scares me. I don't view it as a totally phony issue like abortion and it actually works for the demopoops. But the thing that makes the issue difficult is not complicated, it's the law that disallows bankruptcy proceedings to abolish student loan debt in all cases. Here is the law we need: AFTER a person has paid as much as the principle of such a loan in constant dollars, it should be legal to eliminate the rest of the loan via bankruptcy. In other words, we outlawed slavery in 1865; it is way past time that bankers got...

The knockout blow is being prepared MacGregor claims that Mark Milley has warned Biden that Ukraine is at the end of its rope and that nothing good could come of allowing the conflict to continue.

By James Bovard November 14, 2022 7:13pm Updated President Biden tweeted this afternoon, “The recent elections made an emphatic statement that in America, the will of the people prevails.” But was it the will of Millennials and Gen-Z voters to be bamboozled by Team Biden and the Democratic Party? Hopes for a red wave of Republican victories on Election Day were shattered by the 28% advantage that voters in the 18-29 age group delivered to Democratic candidates. Two days after the election, Biden tweeted, “I want to thank the young people of this nation” who voted for “student debt relief.”...

President Joe Biden skipped a pair of G-20 events on Tuesday in Indonesia, with the White House explaining it was "not COVID" and that the president had other things to attend to.

Explanation: The mysterious blue reflection nebula found in catalogs as VdB 152 or Ced 201 really is very faint. It lies at the tip of the long dark nebula Barnard 175 in a dusty complex that has also been called Wolf's Cave. At the center of this deep telescopic view, the cosmic apparitions are nearly 1,400 light-years away along the northern Milky Way in the royal constellation Cepheus. Interstellar dust in the region blocks light from background stars and scatters light from the embedded bright star, giving the end nebula its characteristic blue color. Though stars do form in molecular...

ASHINGTON — Diehard pro-Trump Rep. Matt Gaetz canceled his plans to attend the former president’s launch of his 2024 campaign Tuesday night, citing bad weather. Gaetz (R-Fla.), who had been one of a handful of Republican lawmakers expected to attend, told reporters he would be there “in spirit,” according to a tweet by Associated Press correspondent Farnoush Amiri. Gaetz’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday afternoon. The weather in Washington was dreary Tuesday, with rain falling intermittently from an overcast sky, but Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in northern Virginia — the closest to the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is asking Congress to provide more than $37 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine, a massive infusion of cash that could help support the nation as Russian forces suffer battlefield losses in their nine-month-old invasion. The administration’s funding request, which comes as lawmakers begin their post-election session, also seeks $9.25 billion in COVID-19 funding to prepare for a possible winter surge and help combat the virus nationwide. Government funding expires in mid-December, and the Ukraine and COVID aid would be part of the package to fund the government through the end of September 2023....

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) holds a slight lead of 1,122 votes over Democrat Adam Frisch one week after Election Day, and both candidates say a recount is likely as the race remains too close to call. The conservative firebrand was seen as likely to cruise to a second term, so even if she holds her narrow lead after the counts are finalized, the close margin marks a major surprise in this year’s midterm elections. As of Tuesday afternoon, Republicans are just one seat away from taking the House majority. With 12 seats still up for grabs, the GOP has multiple...

A new study has revealed that marijuana smokers have a higher rate of emphysema and airway diseases compared to cigarette smokers. Researchers have found marijuana smokers have a higher rate of emphysema and airway diseases compared to cigarette smokers. The findings, from the University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital, will be published today (November 15) in the journal Radiology. In the study, the chest CT examinations of 56 marijuana smokers, 57 non-smokers, and 33 tobacco-only smokers between 2005 and 2020 were analyzed. The investigators determined higher rates of paraseptal emphysema (PSE) and airway inflammatory changes, such as bronchiectasis, bronchial...
